Do we know at least 3 problems that 5G is solving? Even in my little town people have internet at full speed via optic fiber.

The problem is that wireless margins are significantly higher than wire line, and the government will foot part of the cost.

I live in a big town in France and we still don't have optic fiber.

I'm hoping 5G will arrive soon for this reason.
